Since I'm too lazy to register over there, I'll post here.  I think it means that something is going to be introduced, or reintroduced in that mission, similar to that article about smallpox.  Perhaps the Shivans are coming back?  Perhaps an entire new enemy is presenting itself in that mission, or in the place where the mission takes place?

Rietfontein is also a Gold mine in Zimbabwe IIRC.

Perhaps he misspelled Richthofen in a horrible way...

The only thing I could find with even the slightest relevance that hasn't already been mentioned:

The Great Boer War

It was in the furtherance of this scheme that he fought upon October 24th the action of Rietfontein, an engagement slight in itself, but important on account of the clear road which was secured for the weary forces retiring from Dundee.

For a literal translation, it means Reed Fontain. (Reed as in the plant by the waterside.)

(Afrikaans resembles Dutch enough to let me read stuff like that.)

As for a solution, I think that has already been posted.
